Let me start off by saying that this is not a romance. I had read a few reviews and thought there might be some elements of a romance in there, but in all the small mention of it is at the very end.
Lena has just gotten out of jail for something she didn't do. Wanting to make a fresh start, she heads to a small town in Minnesota to take a job at a store. Along the way she meets a few new friends. She tries to hide her past, but her past won't hide from her. After getting a red "Santa" coat, she gets a job as Mrs. Santa. While enjoying her job, she runs into someone from her past who brings her past to light. Lena finds out who her friends are and someone steps up to champion her cause. She finds out more about her ex-husband than she ever wanted to know.
I probably would not have finished this book if it hadn't been so short. The story gets developed and then the tale abruptly ends. I mean the ending was not near as detailed as the rest of the book. It was just 'POW' and then The End. I got involved enough to find out what happened but I wouldn't read it again. It's ultimately a Pass for me.
A little bit about what you'll find reviewed here
A little bit about what you'll find reviewed on this blog: I believe the best books involve characters you wish you could read more about long after the book is finished. Recently, I've been searching for hidden gems from the past. I read mostly fiction, and I'm a bit of a prude. I don't normally enjoy books with sex or excessive language.

I raised two wonderful girls, and I'm super proud of them. I enjoy reading (of course), sewing, cross stitching, photography and writing. I live in the high desert portion of Washington (which I didn't know existed until my husband and I decided to move here) and have really enjoyed my time out here. I am excited to see what God has next in store for my life!
